ROTARY CLUB of LARGS

The Rotary Club of Largs (Scotland) extends a warm welcome to those who may be interested in joining the Club, as well as to those who are just curious to learn more about the Club's activities. The Club was founded in 1958 and today has about 40 members. There are no age limits. The Club's core activity is raising funds for worthy causes both at home and abroad, although being a Rotarian entails much more than this.

Message in a Bottle

One of the club's local projects is Message in a Bottle. This is a plastic bottle, about 10cm x 5cm containing personal and medical information for use by emergency services in the event of a call out, particularly useful when the victim or partner has difficulty when communicating.

End Polio Now

An ongoing International project is the eradication of polio. The success we saw in the fight to end polio this year -- with polio-free milestones reached in Nigeria and the African continent -- wouldn't be possible without the support of health workers, local governments, Rotary and Global Polio Eradication Initiative partners.

Youth projects

Largs Rotary sponsors a number of annual youth projects with local schools. These include Young Chef a school cooking competition, EuroScholar a visit by a pupil to the European Parliament, RYLA for pupils to attend youth leadership courses and the Robertson Trophy a primary schools quiz.
